A friend clearing out his old mums house called me to see if I was interested in the old stereo equipment there ,as he knows I've always loved this sort of stuff.
It was basically Leak equipment in very nice order which he doesn't want and I didn't want to bring home so he's putting it all on Ebay.
However these bloody big old speakers made up the package, again no interest to me so he said they're going in the skip there and then which I couldn't let happen.
They just interested me too much. Anyhow I've got them home and tried to find out a bit about them but drawn a total blank on a web search re "Unit 4".
They are obviously home made cabinets but everything seems in stunning condition albeit dusty, very dusty.
I take it these were a kit project back in the 70's?
The cabinets are very big and heavy and the bass measures 12" across.
Connections look basic and flimsy wire accompanies them.
Should I risk coupling them up to an amp (may a Nait) to try them?...I'm a bit scared of damaging either the amp or indeed the speakers.
I've a feeling they'll sound awful but I'm seriously tempted to give them a whirl.
Thanks guys for any info.
